what's CowPunks?

CowPunks is a collection of 10,000 CC0-licensed pixel art profile picture (PFP) NFTs depicting cows. Inspired by Larva Labs' CryptoPunks and Grant Yun's Cow series, it blends nostalgic 24x24 pixel aesthetics with a humorous bovine theme, establishing itself as a "cowturally significant" entry in the generative PFP genre. Primarily deployed on the Base blockchain (contract: 0xb04da46f1250f78ded38bf7971c81cec1ba58e3b), it also has a presence on Solana, enabling broad accessibility and remixing under the permissive CC0 license. The project fosters community through holder-exclusive utilities, such as points systems on OpenSea, potential airdrops, and integrations highlighted in Base Builder Grants. Traded on marketplaces like Magic Eden, OpenSea, and Zapper, CowPunks targets collectors valuing affordable, fun, and culturally referential digital art within the onchain ecosystem.

CowPunks holders are on the BOOA project allowlist with other NFT communities.
